art itself does come to us from heaven.
Angels tell me that things like this and countless others
even more perfect are presented to their view by the Lord;
but that such sights actually delight their minds more
than their eyes because they see correspondences in the
details, and through their correspondences they see
things divine.
The houses angels live in are not constructed as houses
in our world are, but are given them by the Lord gratis, to
each individual according to his or her acceptance of
what is good and true. They also change slightly in
response to the changes of state of their deeper nature.
Whatever angels possess, they attribute to the Lord,
and anything they need is given to them.
Space in Heaven
Even though everything in heaven appears to be located
in space just like things in our world, still angels have no
notion or concept of location and space. This can seem
like a paradox, and since it is highly significant, I should
like to shed some light on it.
